Hypnosis has actually long been used to relieve stress and stress and anxiety and now we have the proof that it works.

Hypnotherapy for stress and anxiety

It is the stress response that is responsible for the physical symptoms experienced in the body.

What is anxiety?
Anxiety is the response you get when your brain detects a 'hazard.' As soon as a danger is spotted, your tension response is activated, and it is this 'tension response' that provides you the uncomfortable feelings in your body, and triggers your mind to race.
In order to understand what anxiety is, I find it beneficial to draw from evolutionary psychology as it permits me to see that stress and anxiety is an adaptive reaction that ought to be useful, however our intelligence obstructs! Let me describe.
In the very brief video above, I start by revealing you how your brain should react when it detects a risk. Threat spotted, brain gives you the energy to get ready for threat and you cool down when the hazard has passed.

If you think how we have developed over time, we were as soon as prey to other bigger, quicker animals.
Those early people who might find 'hazards' quickly and respond appropriately were more likely to make it through, and for that reason more most likely to hand down their adaptive 'danger detection system' to their kids.
As we progressed, we lost the hazard from predators, however kept our threat detection system. It's like we still have this primitive hazard detection system, but are now utilizing it to spot dangers in the workplace, or any place we occur to be!
contemporary anxiety
The system that helped primitive guy out when he was under danger, being gone after by a large predator, is the exact same system that is reacting to contemporary 'dangers' such a sensation under pressure at work!
How does this risk detection system create anxiety?
In primitive male, the tension reaction is activated when a risk (predator) is identified. The stress response provides him the energy to combat the predator or flee-- hence why we discuss the fight or flight action.
When he is out of harms way, his body relaxes once again. This quick burst of energy, in my mind is not anxiety, rather it is more similar to fear and this is an essential distinction, as I shall explain now.
Contemporary guy detects a hazard, such as stressing about money and his stress action gets activated. He still gets this big burst of energy, but what he is now experiencing is anxiety, instead of fear.
Worry is where there is a real danger present (a genuine risk) and stress and anxiety is where you are fretted about a 'danger' that might happen in the future.
What causes stress and anxiety?
There are different paths in your brain that can lead to the anxiety you experience, but each include an alarm bell being set off to trigger your tension response. The alarm bell can be activated by a 'thinking' route, where your thoughts and concerns can make you anxious, and by a quicker route, where your brain remembers to be anxious.
